ah well... hello then...

for those who wanted to know if my speech earlier today was done impromptu or not... well... here it is... the only preparation i had was penning my thoughts down the night before... right here on these pages...

ah... i was wondering why the bus ride felt so different today...
yes i suppose eight o'clock is a little later than the usual... but the entire mood of the ride was so different... quiet... solitary... contemplative even... i suppose if everyone crammed on the bus was tired and looking only to home and rest then the atmosphere would be far removed from one in a bus load of hyperactive schoolchildren just out of school...
it's almost foreign... almost as if i wouldn't have batted an eyelid if i stepped out of the bus into bitter winter cold and snow meandering its slow path to the earth... ah... i wish more bus rides were like that... quiet moments for me to look out the window and just wonder at the sheer variety and diversity of things... imagine all the lives and people that could mean so much to you but you just never meet because they live at the other side of town...
and i even noticed a couple holding hands... and fast asleep...
ah... sweet youth... let's hope that hasn't passed me by...

it just dawned on me that this moment right now... as i sit typing before the monitor... is a solitary moment of respite in between the two worlds of raging stress and fantastical dream... yes i sometimes feel that whenever i blog right after i'm done with work and right before i go to bed... i'm in a semi-conscious state... haha... and often i end up talking rubbish...
like now...

hmm... wore my watch today after a hiatus of probably a year... think i like it...
so do not even begin to list the long list of negative impacts it has on my image... i think i might wear it more often... or maybe not... wouldn't want to scratch it's pretty face now would i...?
hmm...

ah well... off i go now...
'nighty...
